The soft jade background of Susan Sullivan’s design lends an elegant simplicity to this strip.

Susan has used surface embroidery embellishment in lavender, coral, and shocking pink to add small accents of bright color every 8 rows, making up the “O”s. With the title of “X’s and O’s,” an afghan made from this strip would be a perfect gift for someone on whom you want to shower with lots of hugs and kisses.
